In law Order of the Ministry of Transport of Russia dated June 28, 2007 No. 82 (as revised on January 14, 2019) "On approval of the Federal Aviation Regulations 'General Rules for the Air Carriage of Passengers, Baggage, Cargo and Requirements for Serving Passengers, Shippers, and Consignees'" .2007 No. 10186)
in any Russian airline you can carry up to 5 kg of items on board for free. There are carriers that allow you to take 10 or 15 kg.

As a rule, the more expensive the ticket, the more things you can carry in the cabin. Usually one seat is provided for economy class flights hand luggage, and for business class - two. But here everything depends on the carrier: some companies have their own norms for each tariff, direction, aircraft, while others have a single standard for everyone.

Dimensions are not specified in the law, so here each carrier can establish its own rules. Usually, bags with a size of 55 × 40 × 20 cm or with the sum of three dimensions equal to 115 cm are allowed on board. Such a suitcase will fit on the overhead rack along with other passengers' hand luggage.

You can also take a handbag, a briefcase or a backpack with things in excess of the norm. It is assumed that you will place them under the seat in front, so the allowed weight and dimensions may be less than for carry-on baggage. For example, up to 3 kg and no more than 80 cm in the sum of three dimensions.

Carefully read the rules on the company's website: if the excess weight of free baggage is not indicated there, check it on the website or by phone.

Also, instead of an additional bag, briefcase or backpack, you can take for free:

  • bouquet of flowers;
  • outerwear;
  • baby food for the child during the flight;
  • suit in a garment bag (specify weight and dimensions);
  • a device for carrying a child (cradle, chair, stroller) - provided that you are flying with a child and can fit these things on a shelf or under the seat;
  • medicines, special dietary needs in the amount required for the duration of the flight;
  • crutches, walking sticks, walkers, rollators, a folding wheelchair, if you can fit them in the cabin on a shelf or under the seat;
  • goods from Duty Free, if they fit in weight and dimensions and are sealed in a sealed bag (specify weight and dimensions).

As a general rule of thumb, whatever you are going to take to the salon should fit on a shelf or under a seat. Ask the carrier in advance what amount of hand luggage in excess of the norm he will allow to carry.

How carry-on baggage is checked at the airport

If your carry-on baggage looks bulky, it will be weighed at the airport and its dimensions will be checked using a special frame. This is a plastic container or two walls in which your suitcase should fit. In this case, everything should fit, including handles and wheels.


Frame for checking the dimensions of hand luggage / consumerreports.org

To avoid having to pay extra for carry-on luggage, choose soft bags or a backpack with drawstring straps that reduce the size of your already packed travel accessory.

Air travel is becoming more and more popular today. And due to the fact that many airlines began to put on the market cheap tickets, in which only carry-on luggage is provided, it would not hurt to get acquainted with the concept of “carry-on luggage”, what it includes, what restrictions are there in terms of weight and dimensions.

Hand luggage – this is the baggage that the passenger takes with him to the aircraft cabin without checking it into the hold.

Baggage- these are suitcases, bags, trunks and other things that, when checking in for a flight, are handed over to the luggage compartment on the plane and are issued after landing.

How much carry-on baggage can I take with me?

In hand luggage, airlines place restrictions on the size of baggage and contents.

Standard size carry-on baggage must be 56cm × 45cm × 25cm ... That is, you cannot combine three tickets (if a family is flying), in which luggage of the specified dimensions is allowed, and carry a huge bag of half a human height and weighing 50 kg into the aircraft cabin! The passenger is obliged to pack their luggage in a small suitcase that will fit into the above dimensions.

Airlines have the right to slightly change the size of carry-on baggage depending on the aircraft on which such tickets are sold. Because hand luggage is put in compartments above the seats, and the aircraft models are different and not every suitcase will fit there.

How to check if the carry-on baggage matches the specified dimensions?

The dimensions of what you are going to take with you on the plane can be measured in advance at home, but this is usually done at the airport before checking in for the flight. In order to check in advance whether your carry-on baggage meets the declared dimensions and restrictions, air carriers install special crates at airports. If your bag or suitcase fits there and the top lid closes freely, then the luggage corresponds to the allowed dimensions. Please note that the restrictions do not depend on the airport, but on the requirements of the airline, so choose the crate that you are going to fly from.

What can I take in my hand luggage on the plane?

Before collecting luggage intended for carry-on luggage, keep in mind that the contents of the suitcase will be checked at the airport during customs inspection and if prohibited items are found, they will be confiscated.

You can take into the aircraft cabin:

  • Documents, airline tickets or boarding passes;
  • Money;
  • Bank cards;
  • Medicines (in their original packaging, together with a leaflet and a doctor's prescription);
  • Small-sized gadgets: phone, tablet, laptop, camera;
  • Jewelry (within reason, you are going on vacation!);
  • Baby food and baby care products (if a baby flies with you on vacation);
  • Goods from "Duty Free";

Additionally, you can take a bag for a small child ... The bag may contain one set of clothes (in case the baby has to urgently change clothes on the plane), baby food (they may be asked to open the package and even try it during the inspection), hygiene items for the baby, an oversized toy. The maximum weight of such a bag should not exceed 5 kg. Together with the bag for the baby, you can take a walker, a special cradle, a baby seat or a folding stroller into the salon.

Advice! Stick a sticker on your suitcase with your personal data: full name in Latin, country and address of residence, phone number.

Also, in addition to carry-on luggage, you can take items for people with disabilities : walking stick, crutches or wheelchair, medications together with a doctor's prescription and other auxiliary items.

Some air carriers allow taking together with carry-on luggage :

  • Men's or women's bag up to 40 × 30 × 10 cm;
  • A folder with documents;
  • Gadgets: phone, tablet, camera, small laptop, camcorder. Some airlines allow you to take a tripod from your camera into the cabin if it folds up to 60 cm in length.
  • Outerwear and a suit in a garment cover.
  • Press or a book to read during the flight;
  • Umbrella;
  • Packaged package from "Duty Free".

The items listed above are included in the standard list of items allowed in carry-on baggage. However, airlines can change or supplement this list. The updated list is posted by air carriers on their website.

Hand luggage is inspected BEFORE boarding the flight, in the presence ofowner,baggage the same (those suitcases thatare handed over to the trunk of the aircraft compartment)without the presence of the owner of the baggage.

What cannot be taken in hand luggage?

We repeat once again: the list provided here is averaged. Airlines have the right to change the list:

  1. Knives, scissors, corkscrews and other metal cutting objects.
  2. Aerosols.
  3. Liquids exceeding 100 ml and more than 1 liter in total.
  4. Animal products: butter, cheese, ham and more. However, such products can be taken in the form of sandwiches.
  5. Weapons and items that resemble weapons. They won't even be allowed to take on board even children's pistols, let alone shurikens.
  6. Flammable chemicals and other toxic substances: alcohol, gasoline, lighter gas,. Although, for example, nail polish remover can be transported by plane, only in the trunk compartment.
  7. Items emitting a strong magnetic field.

Advice! If your air ticket allows you to take carry-on baggage and luggage with you, then it is better to put valuable items, important documents and money in your carry-on baggage.

Why can't I take liquids in my carry-on baggage?

You cannot take liquids into the cabin for terrorist security reasons - many explosives are in the form of a colorless transparent liquid. Metal in them and security detectors do not react to them.

According to generally accepted standards, it is allowed to take with you to the aircraft cabin, preferably plastic containers with a volume of up to 100 ml. Moreover, such containers must be carefully packed in a transparent plastic bag.

In some airlines, the limitation is only 100 ml per person, while others are allowed to take liquids up to 100 ml and in total they should not exceed 1 liter per person.

The liquids allowed for carriage in carry-on baggage in the above volume include:

  • Perfume.
  • Shampoo, shower gel, liquid soap, toothpaste.
  • Various creams.
  • Yogurt, water, juices and other drinks.
  • In the category of "liquid" the employees of air carriers carried jam, honey, liquid soufflé. If there is a liquid component in the dish, then such a dish is referred to as liquids.

Advice! Try to shop in Duty Free shops not at the airport of departure, but at the airport of arrival. Also, shop for perfumes, alcoholic beverages and others on the way back.

Where can I put my carry-on baggage and extra items?

In the cabin, carry-on baggage can be placed either in a special compartment above the seats, or under the seat in front. In the latter case, the exception is the places located at the emergency exits. It is forbidden to occupy the passage with your belongings there.

Advice! Try to pack your luggage so that you have free space in a suitcase or so that the weight of the luggagedid not reach the specified critical mass... Because on vacation you for surebuy different souvenirs and then they can be folded intofree space in a bag or suitcase.Otherwise, you will have to pay extra for an extra seatbaggage or overweight.

How to say carry-on baggage in English?

It is often required to explain about baggage at the airport, the staff of which does not speak Russian, or to understand the English-language inscriptions. In this case, focus on carry on luggage or hand luggage.

The information provided is only general rules for the carriage of baggage and important advice for our passengers. Each airline independently and individually determines the standard quantitative aspect and weight of the luggage allowed on a given route. Therefore, in order to receive specific information, each passenger should familiarize themselves with the transportation with a specific carrier.

By twentymindsomething Flickr

Registered luggage is transported to luggage compartment aircraft. Passengers pass it on during check-in. Such cargo must be properly packed and closed, and its contents must be reliably protected from damage under pressure from other suitcases. It must also comply with the restrictions imposed by individual air carriers.

A luggage tag is issued for each suitcase and bag, the other end of which is given to the passenger. It is the basis for identifying baggage upon arrival and for complaints in case of damage or loss. From this moment on, the responsibility for it is on the side of the carrier.

Carriage norms

There are no internationally established rules regarding the weight of the luggage. Allowable weight of baggage on the plane varies depending on the company the passenger uses. However, all airlines have their own franchise system - the weight and amount of baggage that can be carried in the hold of the aircraft.

Carrier rule

This rule states that on flights operated by several airlines, the baggage rules of the airline that makes the geographically longest and largest section of the route apply.

Dimensions

The size of the luggage depends on the type, booking class and route:
By Masashi Yanagiya Flickr
  • 150 cm - the maximum baggage size for most airlines, calculated on the basis of the sum of three values;
  • 20-32 kg is this weight range for low-cost airlines;
  • 1-4 - the allowed number of suitcases.

For security reasons, checked baggage is subject to certain restrictions.

  • Companies that operate regular flights.

The allowed free carriage of things depends on the reserved class of service and the status of the passenger:

  1. Economy class - 1 baggage up to 23 kg.
  2. Economy premium class - 2 suitcases, 23 kg each.
  3. Business class - 2 pieces of luggage, each up to 32 kg.
  4. First class - 3 luggage, each up to 32 kg.
  • The franchise of airlines making charter flights is about 15 kg.

Some companies charge the weight of the luggage, including the franchise. Therefore, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises, it is necessary to clarify the allowed weight and fees for excess baggage. There are also loyalty cards in international airlines that allow you to carry more than allowed items for free, regardless of the class of service.

Some restrictions

It is forbidden to share weight limits. For example, if two passengers are flying who can carry 15 kg baggage, in such a situation you cannot take one bag weighing 20 and the other 10 kg. It is not allowed to combine weight restrictions - for two people of 15 kg, you cannot take a suitcase weighing 30 kg.

Many companies turn a blind eye to a shared suitcase exceeding the weight limit for 1 person and are rarely indignant, but you should still be careful and it is better to take an additional bag to transfer part of the cargo into it if problems begin and requests to pay for the excess.

Suitcases for children

It is prohibited to check in baggage for infants. If a child travels without a separate seat for less than two years, you can register for him:

  • luggage weighing less than 12 kg and dimensions not exceeding 55x35x25 cm;
  • checked packages up to 10 kg (for children's tickets).

Children two years of age and older enjoy the same standards as adults.

Children's transport (baskets for sleeping, strollers, car seats) can be taken on board as carry-on baggage, provided there is free space. Different conditions apply for different types and types of fixtures:

  • the stroller should not exceed the dimensions of 15x30x100 cm;
  • folding equipment that replaces hand luggage should not exceed dimensions of 55x35x25cm.

Otherwise, the items are packed and checked in as checked baggage. Any transport must be packed in a case that completely hides it.

What can be taken into the hold of the plane

Food

As for the transportation of food products in the hold, they can be transported well packed, in unbreakable packages to prevent possible disasters (perishable and fragile goods are transported at the risk of passengers).

Animal products (meat, milk) may contain pathogenic substances that are responsible for the transmission of infectious diseases, so their transportation must comply with the legislation of the countries where they are imported.

Alcohol

When entering Russia, one passenger can carry a total of 5 liters of alcohol with a strength less than 70C. If the norm is exceeded, it is imperative to have a receipt for its purchase, declare the goods and pay taxes.

On all domestic flights of the country, adult passengers can carry drinks with a strength of up to 240C without restrictions. In some countries, the import-call of alcoholic beverages has its own rules, which can be changed and adjusted.

Electronic devices and elements

Any electronic devices can be taken in checked baggage, including a mobile phone, laptop, tablet device, MP3 player, hair straightener, cameras, electric shaver.

Oversized dimensions

Baggage in excess of 158 cm is considered large and can be carried at an additional cost. However, in any case, its weight should not exceed 32 kg. If the luggage exceeds 300 cm and weighs more than 32 kg, it must be registered as cargo transportation.

Special cargo

A load that falls outside the norm due to size or content is called special. This can be sports equipment, musical instruments, or animals. Some airlines, under certain conditions, allow special baggage to be taken as hand luggage in the aircraft cabin.

Musical instruments

Many carriers allow delicate musical instruments in the cabin, such as guitars, which must be packed in a soft case. All other instruments that exceed the permissible dimensions, but not larger than the cello, must be carried in the hold of the aircraft.

Animals
By Sam Howzit Flickr

Large animals must be kept in dedicated air-conditioned areas of the cargo hold. They are transported in a closed container of sufficient volume for a specific pet, in which it is necessary to provide access to drinking water. Additional charges apply.

Sports equipment

Sports-related baggage is called sports baggage. It can be skis, diving equipment, bicycles. Usually such cargo is very large and heavy, and is most often transported in the cargo area of \u200b\u200ban aircraft. However, even smaller items such as a skateboard are not allowed as carry-on baggage as they can be used as an impact weapon.

Additional fees apply for sports equipment requiring special packaging. Transport of sporting and hunting weapons must be registered. Ammunition must be transported separately from weapons and must be accompanied by appropriate permits.

Adjustable quantity of goods:

  1. Perfumes and aerosols should not exceed 2 kg or 2 liters per person and 0.5 kg or 0.5 liters per piece.
  2. Weapons - Knives, ammunition less than 19.1 mm in caliber, ammunition for hunting or sports, and firearms up to 5 kg can be transported, subject to police regulations and the laws of the destination country. They need to be carried in one bag, but all parts must be packed separately. You cannot place weapons among the personal belongings of the passenger.
  3. Cartridges - provided they are packed in a hard case. Store in original packaging and fill the entire space with cushioning material to prevent slipping.

On any plane travel, baggage remains a major concern for passengers. How many bags you can take with you, what norms apply to the weight and size of luggage, whether a suitcase with things for an infant is entitled to without a separate seat, how much will the excess cost and how to act in case of loss or damage to luggage - these and many other questions are always relevant, in including for tourists with experience. Tourist. Roux has prepared his own guide to general rules and some peculiarities of flights with baggage.

Aircraft baggage allowable weight: general points

Flying very light is a rarity even for passengers of low-cost airlines. At the very least, you can't do without a bag for documents or a laptop. The bulk of things in suitcases and bulky / heavy bags travel, as you know, not in the cabin, but as checked baggage, the permissible weight and dimensions of which are set by the carrier. That is why it is so important to have information: to know the latest regulations free carriage baggage on the plane of the selected airline at the paid fare.

In the tariff scale of airlines, as a rule, free and paid baggage transportation is provided. Conditions are determined not only by parameters (weight and size, number of pieces of baggage), but also by the direction / duration of the flight, and, of course, by the paid class of service on board.

Most airlines provide economy class passengers with one free piece of checked baggage (up to 10 kg) and one piece of carry-on baggage. Weight restrictions, as already mentioned, everyone is different, but basically one bag / suitcase up to 20-23 kg is checked in luggage, for a child under 2 years old (without a separate seat) - up to 10 kg. For first and business class passengers, two pieces of baggage are often provided, so in some cases a flight with heavy baggage in an increased class may be more profitable than an economy one with an additional charge.

You can take on a flight more than a free norm - with the condition of an additional payment for an overweight, however, there are also restrictions: according to the rules of the main international airports, one piece of baggage cannot weigh more than 32 kg. The carriage of baggage exceeding the weight and size limits for one piece must be agreed with the airline representatives.

When traveling together "Combine" luggage It is far from always possible: officially, according to the rules of airlines, the summation of the established norms in weight and size is not allowed if passengers wish to carry one heavy bag instead of two light ones. And although one should not deliberately hope for such a trick, in practice, a fee for an overweight within the ceiling of 32 kg may not be charged: everything is individual and depends on the strict observance of the rules, the whims of airline employees (for example, families with a single suitcase do sometimes meet halfway and forgive small excess of the norm), as well as from the work of the loaders' trade union, which does not allow lifting weights in excess of the norm.

Assigned to each passenger hand luggage weight on the plane is also set by the private rules of airlines: someone has strictly up to 5 kg, and someone allows 12 kg. In addition to hand luggage (outside the limit), there are personal items that are not included in the bag / luggage with the passenger, such as a coat, a handbag or a thin briefcase with documents, a bag with a laptop or camera, an umbrella, and the necessary orthopedic devices (crutches, canes).

The next important point: baggage on tickets of several airlines operating under a code-share agreement. It should be borne in mind that a code share does not at all guarantee the identity of the baggage norms of these carriers. We'll have to study the baggage rules on the planes of each airline on the route so that you don't have to pay for excess weight. Such cases are likely when flying from the USA or Canada, where uniform (and high) baggage and carry-on baggage allowances are adopted, via Europe.

Finally, you may encounter special restrictions on the carriage of baggage when purchasing tickets at promotions and promotional rates of regular air carriers, as well as when using bonuses. Often, such financially profitable flights involve traveling light: you can take fewer kilograms of things with you than at the standard fare, or you can do just one thing at all - just carry-on baggage or just checked baggage.

Lost baggage at the airport

If a passenger has lost luggage at the airport (it was not delivered and never appeared on the tape), then immediately, without leaving the arrivals area, contact the Lost and found counter or the baggage tracing service of the airline that made the flight. Returning lost baggage usually requires an official written request: to check it out, you must have a ticket with a baggage pass and a valid ID. In some airlines, you can track the progress of the search for baggage according to the data of the drawn up act online: there is such a service on the official sites.

According to Russian law, the search for baggage lasts 21 days, and after this period the passenger has the right to request compensation for the lost baggage.

According to international agreements enshrined in the Montreal Convention, the maximum amount of compensation is 1131 SDR (about $ 1,500), however, in practice, the amount of payment for each kilogram of lost baggage must be checked with the air carrier: foreign companies receive an average of about $ 20 per kilogram, Russian companies - 600 rubles. According to the internal rules of a number of major international airlines, their compensation may even exceed the generally accepted amount.

The scheme of action in case of obvious damage to baggage or the loss of part of its contents is the same, but it is worth remembering the deadlines for submitting applications. For international flights - within 7 days from the date of receipt; for domestic flights, a claim can be made within 6 months. For standard compensation (for each kilogram, as in the case of the loss of a luggage bag), a description of the missing items will be required. If there are receipts for these things, then it is quite possible and necessary to count on a partial or full refund. In each case, the amount of compensation for damage to baggage during the flight is determined by the airline. When transporting fragile and expensive items, it is advisable to insure them and send baggage with a declared value, paying the due fee for this.

Luggage and low-cost airlines

Budget airlines engaged in international passenger transportation not only have extremely low fares, but also, often very different from the "average" baggage allowance: with tricks and nuances. By and large, the essence of low-cost airlines' fares is in the variety of paid services and in strict restrictions on free transportation of things (this may apply to both luggage and hand luggage). In matters of additional fees for baggage on the plane, budget air carriers sometimes show a lot of imagination.

Wizz air

Flying with a Hungarian low-cost airline, passengers do not pay extra only for small hand luggage (dimensions - 40 × 30 × 20 cm), the maximum weight is 10 kg, which is placed under the seat in front.

A total of 3 pieces of baggage can be checked in.

EasyJet

The baggage rules of EasyJet (British low-cost airline) are as follows: in the cabin it is allowed to take only one piece of carry-on baggage with dimensions of 56 × 45 × 25 cm (including wheels and handles). In this case, a handbag / case with a laptop / business briefcase is carried as one allowed piece of hand luggage; exceptions are made only for EasyJet Plus cardholders or Flexi ticket holders.

Allowances (for a piece of paid baggage): up to 15 kg (available on condition of payment via the Internet) - $ 10.49 - $ 52.49. The cost of baggage up to 23 kg depends on the time and place of payment: online - $ 14.24 - $ 56.24, at the baggage drop-off counter - $ 54, at the gate - $ 70.

The low-cost airline has also provided for the transportation of heavy baggage within 32 kg. Surcharge for additional 3kg is $ 12 and is payable online only. Payment is due for each piece of checked baggage (maximum 3 pieces of baggage). Excess baggage is charged at $ 16 per kilogram.

  • Carry-on baggage dimensions and all baggage surcharges on the EasyJet website

RyanAir

For the Irish low-cost airline RyanAir, the situation with the cost of baggage on the plane is the most confusing: the fee depends on the season (high or low), the type of baggage (separately for bicycles, skis, golf clubs and other sports equipment), the route and duration of the flight, the date of payment - when ordering on the official website and when paying at the airport, the amounts differ noticeably.

For standard checked baggage, bags weighing up to 10 kg are accepted for a fee (payment - 8 pounds if paid immediately with the purchase of a ticket, and from 10 pounds if the baggage was added after booking tickets), as well as up to 20 kg (surcharge for weight - 25 pounds online , £ 40 at the airport). In any case, you always need to check with RyanAir the exact cost of baggage transportation, since only the “corridor” of prices is given in the tariff scale on the website. Overweight luggage - 10 pounds per kilogram.
